Internal waves are vertical displacements of stratified water which can propagate a long distance without much energy dissipation. It plays on important role in conveying nutrient from deep ocean to shallower layers, and promoting biological growth. It also affects acoustics, ocean engineering and submarine navigation. Therefore, in the last few years, many scholars have devoted the research of internal waves, especially their generation and transportation in South China Sea. This research discusses the internal wave source, through the Princeton Ocean Model (POM). There are two simulations, one has bigger grid size 3.6km for the whole Luzon Strait in the region, 118¢XE ~123¢XE 18¢XN ~22¢XN, the other has smaller grid of 1.6km, for 118.5¢XE ~123¢XE and 19.5¢XN ~21.5¢XN. The total simulation period is 25 days, The north and south bomdawes use radiation boundary condition, the east side is driven by tidal calculated from WXTide32 model, the west side also uses radiation boundary condition. Three dimensional flow field during May, 2005, is simulated temperature, baroclinic velocity distribution, baroclinic energy flux, Empirical Orthogonal Functio ns (EOF), Fast Fourior transform (FFT), buoyancy frequency and Froude number are all analyzed, The results show that, when tidal current near the Batan island has the stronger baroclinic flow downward to transmit, after through Heng-Chun ridge the baroclinic energy flux to concenter, extrapolated this time possibly produces for internal tide.
